City News (Canada) 25/9/2024 News Trauma, truth, and testimony: analysing terrorism survivors’ victim impact statements Terrorism inflicts profound and enduring impacts on survivors and communities, yet the complex realities and needs of victims are often obscured in legal and policy discourses. This study examines the lived experiences of Israeli terrorism survivors through a qualitative thematic analysis of 28 victim impact statements submitted to courts from 2010 to 2023. The research uncovers the profound and enduring impact of terrorism on psychological, physical, social, and economic well-being. Pervasive grief, trauma, and irrevocable life changes emerge as central themes alongside the ripple effects on families and communities. Victims also describe daunting practical challenges in rebuilding their lives and express frustration with perceived leniency in sentencing and gaps in institutional support. While conveying urgent needs for comprehensive, trauma-informed assistance, the statements also reveal remarkable resilience and meaning-making in the face of horror. The article discusses the implications of developing more responsive, victim-centred policies and practices guided by the expressed priorities of survivors themselves. Key recommendations are outlined to foster a more humane and holistic response to the suffering of terrorism victims. International Journal of Comparative and Applied Criminal Justice 25/9/2024 Research article Charting the future of organised crime – and the UK’s response As the face of crime continues to evolve in an age of rapid digital innovation, how must the UK’s law enforcement agencies adapt in order to respond effectively? RUSI (Royal United Services Institute) 25/9/2024 Feature, Opinion The Uniforms of Police Emergency Response Team’s: A Research Note The primary role of Canadian emergency response teams (ERTs) is responding to dangerous, violent, and high-risk calls for service (CFS) as a patrol support unit. To unpack how ERTs are deployed in Canada, most often to support frontline patrol beyond full team deployments, in the current study we rely on survey data from n = 35 critical incident commanders from across Canada and highlight the variations in ERT uniforms when supporting patrol. Jenkins et al. suggested ERTs are used during CFS that are beyond the capabilities of patrol to resolve optimally or deployed to calls that lack patrol resources. In policing generally, the police uniform is central for recognizing the police, symbolizes membership to an organization, and provides officers with the clothing necessary to perform their duties safely. Existing research suggests the color of police uniforms can affect citizens’ perceptions of the police organization generally, and the individual officer specifically. Yet, little empirical research exists to reveal variations in ERT uniforms and why police services rely on their ERTs to assist patrol beyond full team deployments.
